Earthquake & Incident Watch: 4-14 August 2026 (limited)

Palmist Ankur is a leading mundane astrologer based in Norway. He has numerous successful earthquake predictions to his credit, including the Kamchatka M8.8 mega quake, the December 8 Japan M7.6 quake, and the highly damaging Venezuela, Kumamoto, Bangladesh, Bohol (Philippines), Afghanistan, Mandalay and Shigatse earthquakes in the recent past, as well as intraplate quakes such as the Western Cuba M6.1 quake. He has also accurately predicted several tech outages, disasters and accidents (Brown University and Bondi Beach mass shootings, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Dhaka and Ōita fires, UPS plane crash in Kentucky, Colombia, Amur Oblast and Bangladesh plane crashes, etc.), political events (Ayatollah Ali Khamenei death, Iran unrest and war, Trump win, several elections, etc.), as well as weather events. All his astrological services can be viewed here, and a well-documented, non-exhaustive track record of his successful predictions is here.

Please read this sticky post to understand better the advantages and shortcomings of my earthquake prediction techniques as of now. Please read this post to access links to some of the modern scientific literature that proposes astrophysics, rather than geophysics, to understand and predict earthquakes.

Please do support me in my further research by upgrading to paid subscriptions or making a donation, if you can afford it.

If you want me to provide earthquake predictions’ probability for a specific location during a specific period in the future (it can even be 5 years from now), it is a paid service. Please see here (limited scope; nominal charges) or here (larger scope, including advice on suitable timings to start the journey, especially useful when one needs to travel even though weather or earthquake prognostics aren’t great; higher charges). You may also order a 6-month or 1-year predictive overview of earthquakes for a particular location.

To see a non-exhaustive, sporadically updated list of successful Weather & Earthquake Watch predictions in the past, click here (for 2024), here (for 2025), or here (for the ongoing 2026).

Other points to remember:

(1) This period should see notable malefic incidents: especially major earthquakes, major communication troubles and network outages, major storms and tornadoes, major accidents, notable border clashes and major troubles for travellers/tourists, aviators/sailors, the young/children, mediapersons/writers, diplomats.

Note that 9-14 August are, in particular, highly malefic dates, particularly for accidents, deaths of notable figures and violence, as I have said earlier.

(2) For a detailed overview of the month of August 2026, about the kind of events that are likely to happen on particular dates, and the specific countries and regions of the world, in general, that need extra attention, see my August 2026 “global horoscope.”

(3) Throughout this summer at least, I will be looking at only a few areas. This prediction looks at Japan, China, Myanmar, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Afghanistan area. Of course, sometimes some bordering or nearby countries may also find a mention.

A few other prediction lines are also given from rest of the world.

And now below is the next set of predictions, with only some areas of the world seen.

Most prediction lines given below are for M5.0+ quakes (magnitude 5.0 and higher). However, there may still be some that remain within the M3.0-M5.0 range.

This post won’t be edited once published. This post is being published on 3 Aug 2026 at UTC 23:26. If any typos are discovered later, they will be left as is. If any more serious errors are discovered or something missing is found later, they would be published in a separate Errata/Addendum post.

Note: Sometimes, earthquake indications on the chart may be rather about other forms of earth disturbances such as volcanic activity, rockfall, avalanche, mudflow, landslide or ground subsidence. They could also be about “non-natural” forms of falls of structures: for example, the collapse of a bridge, an industrial accident in which a big piece of equipment falls down, a plane crash, or a building or mine collapse. Astrologically, they are all one category. So when I say earthquake, the complete category is meant. Please always bear this in mind.

Earthquakes are predicted near the following imaginary lines (within 250 km, but mostly much closer; however, as I am not publishing all the lines, distances may appear larger—see this post). You may extrapolate all lines further at both their ends (especially for accidents and malefic incidents other than quakes). If a high magnitude is predicted for a particular region, then that high magnitude applies to all prediction lines when passing through that region, even if I have not mentioned any magnitude or mentioned a lower magnitude for the other lines. Also, when many lines are close by, it is not necessary that there would be an earthquake for each of those lines; in addition, I may not repeatedly show the same area when several lines are close. However, the concentration of many lines in an area could indicate that that area may see strongly malefic incidents.

- Line between 43°42′N, 144°25′E (near Koshimizu, Hokkaido, Japan) and 38°00′N, 142°04′E (off Watari, Miyagi, Japan). Notable accidents, incidents of violence, troubles for the destitute, low temperatures, storms, troubles for waste processing or storage facilities, conflicts to gain power, notable criminal incidents, troubles for criminal networks and troubles for those in positions of power also likely in some sections of this line. When extended south to 35°36′N, 141°13′E, the line can be seen passing close to the Chiba Prefecture of Japan. High likelihood that earthquake magnitude in the prediction sections shown here may cross 5.7:

When extended south, the Goa-Maharashtra-south Gujarat section (India) of this line looks very highly malefic, part of which is shown here:

When extended north, the line passes close by Pakistan capital Islamabad, parts of Kashmir and the earthquake-prone Wakhan Corridor (Afghanistan):

- Line between 36°00′N, 69°35′E (near Khiaban, Baghlan, Afghanistan) and 29°00′N, 71°17′E (southeast of Dera Nawab Sahib, Punjab, Pakistan). This is a very highly malefic line. Notable accidents or incidents involving fire, firearms or explosions, troubles for travellers, network outages (power, IT, water, etc.), storms or strong winds, troubles to authorities or those in high positions, or other malefic incidents also possible near this line.

- Line between 33°30′N, 62°57′E (near Dahane Osa, Herat, Afghanistan) and 28°00′N, 64°32′E (near Lala, Balochistan, Pakistan). Noteworthy accidents or notable malefic incidents, in addition to or instead of earthquakes, could occur near this line. It should be noted that Iran’s bordering areas with Pakistan and Afghanistan lie within the prediction range of this line, and violence could occur.

When extended south, the line will pass close by several islands of the Maldives (e.g., passing through 3°12′N, 70°16′E, which is west of Nilandhoo), in particular the southern islands of the country (not shown).

A few additional lines, which all look highly malefic; noteworthy accidents or notable malefic incidents, in addition to or instead of earthquakes, could occur near all the following lines (take 5 to 15 Aug period for these lines, except for the first line, for which 4 to 14 Aug, and the second line, for which 4 to 15 Aug):

- Straight line running through 50°00′N, 152°25′E (a point in the Sea of Okhotsk).

The most malefic section of the line, though, is somewhere midway: the Cape Verde section.

- Straight line running through 67°00′N, 53°13′W (northeast of Avssaqútaq, Qeqqata, Greenland). Notable accidents or incidents involving fire, firearms or explosions, troubles for children, the young, or students, troubles for travellers/tourists, pilots/sailors, mediapersons and diplomats, communication troubles or network outages (power, IT, water, etc.), conflicts, storms or strong winds and troubles to authorities or those in high positions also possible near this line.

- Straight line running through 36°00′N, 106°46′W (near Jarosa, New Mexico, USA). Notable accidents or incidents involving fire, firearms or explosions, troubles for children, the young, or students, troubles for travellers/tourists, pilots/sailors, mediapersons and diplomats, communication troubles or network outages (power, IT, water, etc.), conflicts, storms or strong winds and troubles to authorities or those in high positions also possible near this line.

Note 1: Sometimes, earthquake indications on the chart may be rather about other forms of earth disturbances such as volcanic activity, rockfall, avalanche, mudflow, landslide or ground subsidence. They could also be about “non-natural” forms of falls of structures: for example, the collapse of a bridge, an industrial accident in which a big piece of equipment falls down, a plane crash, or a building or mine collapse. Astrologically, they are all one category. So when I say earthquake, the complete category is meant. Please always bear this in mind.

Note 2: Owing to lack of time, I am unable to look at every single prediction line in detail. I am publishing only those which look more prominent to me. It is possible that on some prediction line(s) that I have not chosen, a strong enough earthquake may take place, but I can only do my best with the time constraints possible. However, wherever a line is given, an earthquake or some other incident that can or does lead to fall of structures is highly likely to happen near it, unless weak probability is already noted.

Note 3: If a big earthquake has happened in a place, aftershocks may continue for days, weeks and even months. I predict the big (usually the first) earthquake, not always the aftershocks (unless they are also seen prominently on the charts, as does happen sometimes).

Note 4: The straight lines are an approximation of curved lines. As you go at extreme latitudes, the prediction lines will become more and more “flat,” given that the Earth’s curvature sharpens towards the Poles.
